Description
The ODA’s Member Education Department, in collaboration with the York Region Dental Society, is pleased to present the following seminars:
AM Session: Fundamentals of Dental Recordkeeping
Category 1 – 4 CE Credits
Speakers: Dr. Rana Badewy and Dr. Parvaneh Bahrami (RCDSO)
Audience: Dentists and Dental Staff
Description:
Professional, legal and ethical responsibilities require that dentists maintain complete records documenting all aspects of the patient’s dental care. The chart “tells the story”, beginning with the patient’s medical and dental history, continuing through diagnostic procedures and diagnosis, consent to treatment and treatment plan, and on to progress notes and referral documents. Charting is, quite simply, part of care. The RCDSO’s Dental Recordkeeping courses offer practical advice for understanding the dental recordkeeping requirements in Ontario and how to incorporate them into daily practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the six components of a patient record that must be included to satisfy professional, legal and ethical expectations for documentation.
- Describe the content that must be included in each of the areas of the patient’s record.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen their own practice and apply the fundamental principles of dental recordkeeping required to demonstrate they are practicing to the standard of care.
PM Session: Talking with Patients 101: The Art and Science of Mindful Communication
Category 1 – 3 CE Credits
Speakers: Dr. Bruce Freeman
Audience: Dentists and Dental Staff
Description:
Understanding what drives our behaviour can help us communicate better with everyone in our lives, including ourselves, our teams, and our families. In this seminar you will learn the neuroscience behind how we think and act, allowing us to deal with the people with more confidence, and most importantly, less stress. Additionally, you will also learn the steps and wording required to help encourage mental wellness in addition to self-care strategies. To understand why we all behave as we do, we need to learn about the neuroscience behind our actions so we can interact with everyone in our lives, from patients to team members to friends and family, with awareness, mindfulness and just a little more grace.
Learning Objectives:
- Define Patient Experience and mindful communication.
- Identify details that may be overlooked and may lead to miscommunication and conflict.
